Title
Application #PL2024-273 - SIGN APPLICATION - The Church of Christ of Lee's Summit monument sign, 201 NW Chipman Rd; The Church of Christ of Lee's Summit, applicant
Body
Issue/Request:
The request is for Planning Commission approval of a monument sign for The Church of Christ of Lee’s Summit. The proposed sign is a replacement for a monument sign that was damaged and removed earlier this year. At 10’ tall with a 40 sq. ft. sign face and 70 sq. ft. in overall structure area, the proposed monument sign is taller and has a larger sign face than allowed by right under current RP-2 zoning district standards. The previously existing sign originally approved in 1998 was similarly 10’ tall with a 40 sq. ft. sign face. Due to the total loss of the previously existing monument sign, there are no vested rights of non-conformity under which a replacement monument sign of the same size can be administratively approved and therefore requires compliance with current UDO standards. The proposed sign of similar height and size as the previously existing monument sign requires Planning Commission approval.
Proposed Planning Commission Motion:
I move to approve Application #PL2024-273 - SIGN APPLICATION - The Church of Christ of Lee's Summit monument sign, 201 NW Chipman Rd; The Church of Christ of Lee's Summit, applicant.
